The Tiger Side of Night
In poetry both vivid and sparse, Olga Costopoulos probes ancient archetypes and confronts personal demons. With humour and defiance, she challenges the night its fears.
Standing Together
Standing Together is a powerful expression of women's collective and individual strength. It is a collection of personal stories from women who have suffered the horrors of violence and abuse and have made the hardest decision: to stand up, choose life, take control and walk away from the darkness. The disturbing, compelling, and inspiring stories in Standing Together were written by women of all ages, professions, and ethnicities, from rural and urban areas and all social backgrounds; they could be women you know. They tell of abuse at the hands of husbands, boyfriends and partners, fathers and strangers. They tell of deciding to seek help, leaving a life of fear for one of hope. They tell of the family, friends, and strangers that helped them rebuild their lives. Taken together, they form a greater story of hope and inspiration: You are not alone. You can make a change. You can survive this, get through the pain, and build a new life. You have the strength; we have the strength when we stand together.
Muskox & Goat Songs
The engaging and familiar poems in Muskox and Goat Songs explore those brief moments in life where conjunction or coincidence reveal the true heart of things.
One Crow Sorrow
An evocative new voice in Canadian poetry, Lisa Martin-DeMoor fearlessly channels the weathered West, the half-truths of memory, and present day loss in her first collection. One Crow Sorrow is smoothly varied, from sparsely drawn meditations on relationships, to longer and bolder verse rich in image. Each one holds our mortality up to the light, fragile against the earth's sturdiness. Her command of language and unifying tone create a heightened attention and a crisp view of all that makes us feel vulnerable-grief, love, nature and solitude.
Education as Dialogue
An original examination of the intellectual and moral prerequisites of education and dialogue and their role in preventing indoctrination.
A Ghost in Waterloo Station
The poems in A Ghost in Waterloo Station take the everyday world as their point of departure, but the place of arrival is never the shore you started from. Vivid invocations and meditations on childhood, art, and travel bring together places and people as likeable and unexpected as the wry poetic sensibility recommending them to our attention. Greece is a country where clarity / is inescapable unless it forces your lids shut. Swallows enter their nests high on the white stacked walls at Indian Lodge as if the ghost/ of a remorseful pickpocket/ were slipping a wallet/ back where it come from. There is much humour here, and warmth, combined with an awareness of loss and the weight of history--all delivered in a voice distinctive in its combination of narrative, whimsy, and psychological observation.
The Fiddlehead
None
All the God-sized Fruit
"These poems animate moments surrounding the still-life or pose; verbal brushstrokes fill cracks in the canvas. A series of sharp glimpses restores details from a painter's rape trial, for which most records have been lost. Painter, model, and poet seduce the reader into a mystery that cannot be observed at a single glance."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
